Is there a way we can setup conditional escalations for a task - eg escalate and

Escalations are timer based but both the "Escalate after..." and "Escalate at the date and time..." options can take an expression; you can build any expression to conditionally escalate the task after X or Y depending on a condition or at date X or Y depending on another condition.

If the decision is not "when" to escalate but if the task is supposed to be escalated or not maybe you can use two user input tasks, one with the escalation, one without it and use an XOR to decide what task to activate.

Additionally you can mimic the escalation in parallel with a timer, a gateway and a Send Email or Send Alert node if the available options of the escalation feature doesn't help with your requirement.

Yes, the timer option would fit my requirement. Thanks eduardo
